... to join with the meeting in another room. So ibalik lang natin ang statement kanina na just because of the provision on the House Rules of Section 90 na pag hindi ka allowed by the House yung travel outside mo, you are deemed absent.
00:28.8
... E kung absent ka, hindi ka allowed na mag-join sa mga activity dito sa House. So ang decision ng committee is really para maka-join siya at ma-recognize dito sa House, suppose sa physical appearance ang kanyang gagawin kasi nasa alabas siya at this time."
00:58.8
Q1. Pag bumalik siya in a time, as a member, ano naman yun?
01:28.8
... Pwede. So whatever decisions that the committee have recommended and then decided by the plenary tomorrow, ikwa naman yun. Functions lang dito ng ating House to discipline the members.
01:58.8
... Kung umuwi pa siya bukas before the plenary decide of our recommendations, so mas maganda."
02:28.8
Q1. After ba ng decision bukas sa plenary, mananatili pa rin siyang congressman?
02:58.8
... Alam naman natin na we are a public official. May House rules tayo and then everything is controlled by the leadership na lahat ng galaw dito with approval. So nandyan naman yan sa House rules ng ating institution.
03:28.8
... Hindi kasi pagsunod sa tagal kasi sunod-sunod na hindi rin pinansin ang ating panawagan dito na bumalik dito sa Pilipinas dahil tapos na yung kanyang period na sa labas.
03:58.8
... So what you call that, kamad na isang tao, it's our House rules ito yung sinusundan."
04:28.8
... And doon na yan itatackle sa plenary probably."
04:58.8
... At saka kung anong decision ng plenary, yan na ang final. So hirap kasi magbangit tayo this time tapos ang plenary pala ang mag-decide."
05:28.8
... Thank you. And then sorry I have a call na mag-attend muna sa isang meeting.
05:58.8
... It's up to the Committee on Ethics because the Committee on Ethics already approved the committee report and we submitted already to the Committee on Rules for its appropriate action."
06:29.8
... As far as the Committee on Ethics, actually the time for Congressman Arnie Tevez to show up has lapsed already. He was given 24 hours from yesterday, 4.31. So as far as our committee is concerned, he has not appeared and we are preparing our committee report for submission to the Committee on Rules for presentation to the House plenary."
06:53.8
... If ever, yes."
07:23.8
... Of course that's a sanction but I cannot comment. Please just wait for the committee report to be submitted. It will be voted upon in the plenary tomorrow. But that is one of the sanctions but we're not confirming, we're not denying. I mean just please in 24 hours you will know."
07:53.8
Q1. Tuloy pa rin ang kanyang salary?
08:23.8
Okay. Thank you very much. Let's wait until tomorrow. Thank you.
08:53.8
Thank you very much.
